The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have.

The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong.

The dead are not powerless. Dead, is not powerless.

A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else. Men’s happiness or misery is most part of their own making. He, whose mind directs not wisely, will never take the right way; and he, whose body is crazy and feeble, will never be able to advance in it.

生活的目的不是快乐。它是有用的，是光荣的，是富有同情心的，是让你活得有意义，活得好。
